The Generosity of Friends

Throughout the last six months as we’ve been moving forward with our foster/adoptive plans we have received some very generous gifts from friends to help build our ‘playroom.’ We’ve gotten an exisaucer, play kitchen, kids table & chairs, wagon, legos, stroller, and more! My mom even gave me the lincoln logs we had growing up along with our Cabbage Patch dolls.

Josh and I have been focusing on the essentials as we prepare for a potential foster child – crib, dresser, bed,seats – and have kind of put the fun stuff, like toys and games, on the back buner. These generous gifts are a huge help! Can’t wait to dig into that kitchen!

We are blessed with such amazing people in our lives. Thank You, THANK YOU Schafer’s, Ms Mayhem, Dave & Dayna, the Bunten’s, and Mom for your generosity, it means so much to us.

Bathroom Makeover

One of the last rooms in the house to be painted was our master bathroom. After looking at the hot mess for 18 months, it finally received its face lift this weekend! I painted it Garret Gray (Sherwin Williams), two shades darker than the gray in the main part of our house, Versatile Gray.

I am slightly disappointed in the length (or lack of) of the shower curtain…I may have to enlist the help of my bestest sewing buddy to help fix it. Feels so good to get this project done!
